Abstract
From a study on the biological activity of fungal stemphones and their derivatives, five derivatives having an O-alkyl moiety at C-11 of stemphone C were found to inhibit lipid droplet accumulation in macrophages without any cytotoxic effect. Among the derivatives, those having O-isopropyl and O-isobutyl were the most potent inhibitors by blocking the synthesis of both cholesteryl ester (CE) and triacylglycerol (TG), the main constituents of lipid droplets in macrophages.
